I'm not usually one who does reviews, but I definitely feel the need to do so with Ms. Oranees's place.
I'm going to be completely honest, I actually did not expect much going into it. I had just moved to Bangkok and was just looking for the best "deal" to get me on my feet here. I was a bit skeptical about the layout and the location. That changed almost instantly on arrival.
This home is in an absolutely lovely neighborhood, away from the noise of the street, but just a 30 second walk to some of the best hidden gems (Especially for you foodies!)-- It's a 5 minute walk to the boats, which can take you directly to the the Icon Siam mall (Has it's own dock), various temples, or Chinatown itself, and for only 16 baht! Asiatique Waterfront (a great nightly market) is another 5-7 minute walk. So, while it may not be a quick walk to the train, getting to the train or anywhere else is incredibly easy due to the boats, buses, and easily grabbed Taxi's. Oh, and there are about five 711's within those 5 minute walks, one of them right outside the alley entrance (Along with multiple ATMS).
Okay, back to the place itself now. For the price, it is very decently sized. It's comfortable, and it's more traditional. It is a living room divided from the bedroom by curtain. The Bathroom is on the first floor, but it's not shared at all. The stairs are RIGHT outside the door, so it's not a long trip by any means. At the time of my stay, there were a few other women staying here in various rooms, but they were ALL absolutely awesome. I had my 5 year old daughter with me, and they were so great with her. If they saw my daughter outside alone playing with the cat (The property is securely gated), it was not abnormal for one of the women to come outside and play with her, paint her nails, etc... The community around this home is incredibly accepting and friendly, even to a 6'1 white guy like me who doesn't know how to say more than "Hello" and "Thank you" in Thai!
Everything inside the room works like a charm. The air is cold, the fridge is cold, the furniture just works. There is a washing machine available for 30 baht per use.
Anyway, I don't really know what else to say other than this is going to be a default Airbnb rental for me when I am in Bangkok! If you want to really be a part of the culture, live among the locals and tucked away from the tourism (But still have easy access to it), this is the place for you. Especially if you have a child!
